Healing & Resilience Circle

​“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” —Audre Lorde

​As we close out 2021 and enter the winter season, the Indigenous Solidarity Committee invites you all to A Healing & Resilience Circle.

​Friday, December 10

​12- 1:30pm PT

​The past two years have been exhausting, challenging, and non-stop.

​There's a lot going on: The pandemic is unending. We've suffered countless personal & community losses. Racism & systemically sanctioned violence continues unchecked. Our way of life is in flux. The climate emergency feels irreversible (to name just a few).

​The Healing & Resilience Circle is a facilitated experience that offers an intentional space and time to reflect, nurture your body, remember your heart, grieve your sorrows & losses, and attend to yourself.

​Come exactly as you are.

​There is space for all of you- your grief, your anger, your tiredness, your passion, your numbness, your anxiety, your love, & your care. <3

​(While we encourage you to make space for the entire interactive event, the circle is open and you are welcome to join at any point during the session!)

​Facilitated by Oceana Sawyer, a death doula & grief facilitator.
